Golden - Fiber Paste
Fiber Paste
Create textured grounds that mimic handmade paper's authentic surface
Golden Fiber Paste transforms smooth surfaces into textured, paper-like grounds that handle mixed media techniques with surprising flexibility. Fine cellulose fibers suspended in acrylic polymer create an opaque, tactile surface that mimics handmade paper's characteristic tooth and absorbency. The paste maintains workability while wet, allowing you to smooth it with a damp palette knife for refined paper textures or apply it thicker for pronounced surface relief.
This paste dries to a flexible, durable finish that accepts drawing media, collage elements, and wet techniques without cracking or delaminating. The porous surface grabs graphite, charcoal, and colored pencil while providing enough absorbency for ink and watercolor washes. Layer it over rigid supports like panels or canvas to create dimensional backgrounds that support aggressive mark-making and repeated reworking. The neutral white base takes transparent glazes beautifully, or mix it with fluid acrylics before application to create custom colored grounds.
Mixed media artists use Fiber Paste to build substrates that bridge painting and works on paper, creating surfaces that feel familiar to drawing tools while maintaining the structural advantages of acrylic polymer binders.
